    What is Strawberry Shrikhand?

    Shrikhand is thick, sweet, hung yogurt. It is a popular dessert in Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Traditionally, it is flavored with cardamom and/or saffron. Strawberry shrikhand is a twist to traditional recipe where sweet strawberry puree is used to flavor yogurt. Here is a mango shrikhand I made few years ago.

    3 Ingredient Recipe

    Ingredients for strawberry shrikhand are strawberries, yogurt and sugar. Nuts are optional, hence did not include the ingredient count. 

    • Strawberries - Use fresh strawberries and cook the berries until soft.  You can use frozen berries but my personal preference is fresh berries.   
    • Yogurt - Use strained (hung) homemade or store bought yogurt.  The key to a good creamy shrikand is thick yogurt with minimum water content.  A good alternative to hung yogurt is Greek Yogurt.  It also saves time and also makes a good  semi homemade shrikhand.
    • Sugar - Adjust sugar to taste.
    • Nuts - Garnish with nuts but it is optional.

    How to prepare Strawberry Yogurt?

    Cook strawberries with sugar until soft, puree and mix it with hung or strained yogurt. Instead of straining yogurt, the easiest substitute is Greek yogurt, thus making this a semi homemade recipe. It is a 3 ingredient, quick and easy recipe that is done in under 30 minutes. The only time consuming step of the recipe is cooling strawberry sugar mixture.

    When & how to serve?

    Serve strawberry shrikhand as a dessert, for breakfast or even as a snack. Though it is an Indian dessert, it is very versatile. Shrikhand is garnished with nuts and I left it out in this recipe. When serving it for breakfast or as a snack, highly recommend adding nuts. The recipe calls for ¼ cup sugar and if one doesn't have a sweet tooth or does not like sweet breakfast, adjust to taste.

      This type of flavored yogurts are my kid's favorite. I make them rarely and generally get it from market. i think I should make them more frequently. That jar of lovely colored strawberry yogurt is tempting me to grab it and finish it

      Starwberry has given an amazing colour to the yogurt. I love shrikhand so much. Flavouring it with strawberries is a wonderful idea for an easy dessert.

      Nice presentation for the yummy shrikhand. Somehow the formatting of this page has gone haywire. Is it my browser or something else?

        That is really strange Harini. After seeing your comment, I checked on chrome and Safari. On Chrome it's displaying fine but Safari formatting is all messed up. However, on my husband's laptop on Safari, it is fine. Clueless what's going on here.
